 The T-Mobile Shadow offers real visual improvements over the standard Windows Mobile 6 interface, but we doubt any users will be fooled into thinking this isn't a WinMo phone. The Neo interface looks fantastic, but it actually adds very little functionality to the phone, and instead makes functions easier to find and activate. That's nice, but maybe we were looking for something to truly transport us from Windows Mobile into HTC's own phone realm. The boxy look won't impress anyone, but Windows Mobile geeks should be satisfied that this phone has real smartphone chops, with Wi-Fi and all the calendar and office prowess that you'd expect from a Windows phone. The rest of us will have to watch on and wonder what HTC could have done with the Shadow if it weren't floating on the Windows Mobile raft. Release: October 2007. Price: $200.
Pros: Nice material design. Neo interface is very spiffy and convenient. Wi-Fi is a fair substitute for 3G, for now. SureType keyboard brings QWERTY to this small device.
Cons: Beauty may be skin deep. Neo interface doesn't really improve calling, messaging and other core functions. Wi-Fi but no UMA? Too bad.
